About this model
The Canon PowerShot SX210 IS is a compact superzoom that fits a 14x optical zoom into a slim, pocketable body. Its 14.1-megapixel CCD sensor and DIGIC 4 processor deliver detailed stills, while the 28–392mm equivalent lens covers everything from wide landscapes to distant subjects. Optical Image Stabilisation helps keep handheld shots and video steady, especially at the long end of the zoom. A 3-inch widescreen LCD makes framing easy, and the camera records 720p HD video with stereo sound. It suits travellers and everyday shooters who want a long zoom without carrying a larger camera or interchangeable lenses.
